Teachers select students who rise to the expectations of the middle school, which believes in PRIDE: perseverance, respect, integrity, discipline and excellence.

Congratulations to the following students: top row from left, Ella Nies, Joe Dotty, Madeline Pluimer and Blake Millner; bottom row from left, Dylin Ackerman, Hailee Swenson, Alex Kotaska and Maverick Engstrom.

I've worked at the Brainerd Dispatch with various duties since Dec. 7, 1983. Starting off as an Ad Designer and currently Director of Audience Development. The Dispatch has been an interesting and challenging place to work. I'm fortunate to have made many friends, both co-workers and customers.
